When the issue of 'fly posting' (attaching posters to property without the owner's permission) was raised at a Parish Council meeting under the 'public participation' item the Council advised that members of the public should feel free to remove fly posters if they so wish. Although if the poster is substantial and possibly of some value the remover has a duty to look after it in case the advertiser wishes to recover his property.
Natland News has now been informed that KFC posters that appeared on a phone box in Crook last week were paid-for adverts. Perhaps whoever removed them should stay anonymous and lie low.
